We do it every year, but it doesn't make the transition from Winter to Spring [1] any easier. When to fold up your heavy sweaters and retire your clunky boots? When to embrace bright color and lighter fabrics? The truth, as outlined by Victoria Beckham [2], is that your chunky layers and breezy separates aren't mutually exclusive — in fact, they're better together.
Notice that when Victoria headed out in NYC, she balanced a pleated midi skirt with a boldly colored yellow turtleneck. And to finish, the perfect compromise in footwear: a pair of wedged ankle boots that look great with tights but equally chic with bare legs. If this isn't smart style, we don't know what is. Read on to take a page from the designer's latest look — then shop it for yourself just in time for the transitional weather ahead.
